Module 4 - Nucleic Acids & Lipids Flashcards
Basic components of nucleic acids
Nitrogeneous bases
Pentose Sugar
Phosphate group
Monomers of nucleic acids
Nucelotides
Organic molecules containing nitrogen
Nitrogenous bases
Purines
Adenine, guanine
Pyrimidines
Cytosine, thymine, uracil
Backbone of the nucleic acid molecule
Pentose ugar
Negatively charged groups that link bases and sugar components together
Phosphate group
Links nucleotides together to form nucleic acids
Phosphodiester bond
Where does phosphodiester bond happen
Phosphate group of one nucleotide and a sugar group of another nucleotide
Where is dna located
Nucleus
Where is rna located
Cytoplasm
Function of rna
Protein synthesis
Function of dna
Transmission of hereditary effects
Lipids are
- hydrophobic
- non polar
Fats
Lipids
Lipids are in a form of
Hydrocarbon chains
Covalent bond that link two monomers of lipids
Ester linkage
2 monomers of lipids
Fatty acid chains and glycerol
Where does ester linkage form
Carboxyl group of fatty acid and hydroxyl group of glycerol
Single bonds in hydrocarbon chain lipids
Saturated fats
Punong puno ng hydrogen atoms lipids
Saturated fat
Hydrocarbon chain of lipids that is double bonded
Unsaturated fats
Healthy fatty acid
Omega 3 fatty acids
